Driver Alert SystemThe Driver Alert System is designed to help a driver who may be becoming fatigued or who isinadvertently leaving the lane.
IntroductionThe Driver Alert System consists of two different functions that can be switched on together orseparately.
• Driver Alert Control (DAC)
, see Driver Alert
Control (DAC) – introduction (p. 221)
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) 7
, see Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) – introduction(p. 227)
or
• Lane Keeping Aid (LKA) 8
, see Lane Keep-
ing Aid (LKA) – introduction (p. 232)
When one or both of the functions has beenswitched on, it is in standby mode and is acti-vated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of40 mph (65 km/h). The function deactivates if the vehicle's speed goes under 37 mph (60 km/h). Both functions use a camera that is dependent on the road/lane being clearly marked by paintedlines on each side.
WARNING
The Driver Alert System does not function in all situations and is designed to be a supple-mentary aid. It is not, however, intended toreplace the driver
